Transvalvular mitral regurgitation following mitral valve replacement a diagnostic dilemma

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
After mitral valve replacement with a prosthetic valve, the valve should be competent and there should not be any residual prosthetic valve regurgitation. Transvalvular residual prosthetic valve regurgitation are difficult to diagnose and quantify.
